      Yea, but the stats let alone someone owning those guns is stupid. The volcanic pistol predates alot of the guns in the game but wasnt popular due to it being underpowered, the cattleman is underpowered in the game also. It should be the most powerful handgun of the game with the scholfeild after it, the navy revolver and lemat shoudlnt be as powerful as there are because they took smaller calibers but also took less powder same as the Schofield. The double action should be one of the weakest, so should the pistols

    A bit of a shame that The Schofield wasn't covered. Not only is it my favourite of the RDR2 revolvers, it also keeps it's real name for a pretty dark reason. The reason that there's no licensing problem, is because the Schofield who invented it, shot himself with the gun that shared his name.

      I know this is a 2 year old comment and I'll look it up myself as well, but why would that allow the name to be used without licensing? Did he die before he could patent it? Or some other reason? I'll update this comment with what I find :)
      Update: I couldn't find much info, but to reiterate and expand on OPs comment a bit, the Schofield Revolver was named after Major George Schofield who modified the Smith and Wesson Model 3 to be easier to reload while on horseback, cutting reload time in half (around 30 seconds to fully reload the Schofield variant). It became popular enough amongst the cavalry that Smith and Wesson patented the modified design, naming it after the Major. Compared to the Colt 45 it had a bit less power and recoil that made it easier to shoot accurately, but still kept it's stopping power. Eventually it was standardized to accept .45 Schofield and .45 Colt rounds interchangeably.
      Major Scholfield did indeed commit suicide with a Schofield in his full military gear in 1882, 3 years after his wife died and 9 years after the Schofield Revolver was patented.
      I couldn't find anything about why R* can use some names like the Schofield, Volcanic, and (I believe) the Rolling Block Rifle, but if I had to guess I'd think it comes down to either: the real names they use are public domain or they only paid for the licensing for those specific guns for whatever reason.
      "Gun lore" is kinda interesting sometimes I suppose

      The reload speed is a major issue with online. You may not know this but rockstar sped up reload speed and changed third person movement to make the game more arcadey.
      Doing that in context of a game that focused so much on realism in small details, this sucked and contributed to a lot of players quitting the game. It’s not the only reason by any means. But it contributed.

It’s also worth noting that he’s said to have got the .31 caliber version, which was the weaker of the two calibers you could get it in. And critically, that was an anecdotal story; it’d be incredibly difficult to confirm if that actually happened and if it’s actually true. It may be a true story, or it may have been an exaggeration, or possibly even have been a true story that was just a fluke because he got a bad batch of ammo or something.

Still strange, but it is faster than cocking then pulling the trigger.

I wish instead they had mentioned to him the fact that the Varmint Rifle is included in the game precisely because this isn't just a bandit simulator but also a pretty damn good hunting simulator and you need that gun to get perfect pelts on Rabbits, Badgers, Skunks, and other "varmints".
